I can't recall, but didn't some shop host a Dent day for a really good price? Was it Dynospot? Anybody else need/want this? Also be a good chance to meet up.

Only if you would have posted this 2 weeks ago, right before I got my paint job. I'm sure if you get enough people, you can get one of the guys from dent pros to come out and if there is enough work for him to do then he will make some very acceptable prices. Good luck!

bay bimmerz did one last year at dyno spot racing.

Well, right now I'm looking into Dent Wizard because someone requested them in particular. So, if I go with Dent Wizard, I may have 2 people so far.

Hey Shragon (Robert, right?), do you know how much the deal was at DSR last year?

hey wassup darren. yea, rob here.

i don't think they really had a set price last year. they just discounted it how they saw fit. so they would look at your car, and just give you a price. i think i paid around $125, and got quite a few dents taken out including two big ones on the hood. i don't remember which company they had come out.

I think they used this guy:

Brad Treece
Dent Performance
(408) 227-8031 - work
(408) 210-6922 - Cell

He's worked on a number of my friend's cars, and does really good work...

Jim

Jim is correct, Brad Treece is who did it last year at DSR. It was somewhere between $50-$75 for the first dent and then $10 for each additional dent. Great work, especially for the price.

What do you guys think? Another BayBimmerz Dyno & Dent Day?

sounds good to me... i'd be in.

yes, pleaaaaaaaase jay! set one up! :)

I'm down. :D

Brad was great, I set up the first one and have used him since. Thanks to Jim O. for the original recommendation. Jay if you want to talk to Dynospot, I can get ahold of Brad once we set up some possible dates. Let me know!

Erik

Just FYI, I beleive it was $75 for the first 3 dents and then $10 each additional

Sounds good Erik.

These dates work for everyone?

June 21
July 26
Aug 9

I will call Dick with these 3 dates and see what he says.

i believe any of those dates works for me.

Sweet! Hopefully by then I will have received and installed my AA S/C and can get it on the dyno!:buttrock

Dynospot is not far from my house, and while I don't need any dents pulled I'd be happy to get a dyno baseline done before I contemplate any additional mods. Always good to chat with folks as well. So far, those dates all look free for me as well.

Yeah yeah! You better book one or you know I'll find somewhere to race!

I'm on it. I'll be calling Dick tomorrow to book a day.:buttrock

dont do june 21st please! not only is it my birthday (finally 18!!!!) but its right after graduation so everyone will be having parties. i say go for july 26th...ill be more likely to have my bmw by then also:)

awesome, looking forward to this meet!

Sweet, count me in! Can I bring my beater G20 as well as the bmw for the dent day? :)

oh hell yea i wanna try and make that, my hood is a mess. hehe

What's the rate for dynospot? I have no mods, is it worth doing a dyno? Or should I do a dyno when I start modding.

Thanks.

Mike

don't suppose someone can e-mail when the final date is set.. gizzard@pobox.com.... Id be in for a good half dozen dents! (75+ 6*10 = $135...?)

I think DSR charges $85 per hour for any particular install, which is pretty good considering the dealer charges about $135 I think. As for a dyno run, I think it's $85. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Never a bad plan to do a dyno when you are stock and then periodically dyno after mods. That way you know what you are doing.

FYI, We at MPACT only charge about $45/hr for mod installs and we can do it at night and on the weekends unlike a lot of shops.

Sweet, call Dynospot while you're at it. And leave what you do behind close doors at home! :biglaughb

Are we gonna do the dent thing too? My car has a like 100 dents, but it looks dilebrate, so I may leave it.

So when are you guys coming to an Autocross???
June 29th we are at Oakland

Hey Erik, Joe here!
I want to set something up for suspension. Say within the next month or two. My front shocks are SHOT! I have Bilsteins in the rear with E46 RS. What springs and front shocks should I do? I drive it daily and want it to be somewhat comfortable. I was thinking Bilstein or Koni's up front with H&R OE or Sports.

:dunno

YES!!!!! I think I can make that one. SCCA right? I need to join so I can actually autox that day.

Just got a strut bar so that should take off about 10sec of my times!:mdrbig

Joe...Hmmmm, I have a set of Custom Bilsteins with adjustable GC collars and such, plus a set of Dinan Camber plates that just happen to be for sale. Let's talk...

There's an earlier autoX.

BMWCCA has organized one on June 15th @ the Marina airport.

Jay, do we have a date???

Robert,

If they are all around, we charge $250 total. Let me know if that works, shoot me a PM

:mad: It's this damn company I work for! Trying to keep me down.:mad:

Dynospot is also really close to the 76 station with the 100 octane racing gas... Why do I have a feeling that pump is going to get a lot of use that day. :D

So we are on July 26th!!!!!!

Erik can you arrange for Brad to be there?

Remind me tomorrow and I will call him for sure!

So we are on July 26th!!!!!! woooooohoooo!! i missed the last one, will be sure to make this one hopefully with a bmw:clap:

Cool, count me in.

Wow, it's like two months away

i'm in if i'm available during the date...hoepuflly i am i have this 1 dent that is just annoying the hell outta me.

Pls show me this gas station and how or where it is close to DynoSpot. The last time we were at DynoSpot, I drove around for thirty nimutes just trying to find ANY gas.

:dunno

Just FYI, Race Gas is a waste of money unless your car is programmed for it. Our DMEs can only handle up to 94 Octane. If you want to do anything, you could add like 3 gallons to your tank to increase the octane from 91 to whatever it gets you.

Erik don't forget to call!:buttrock

OK, I talked to Brad.. Unfortunately the date we picked does not work for him. June 21st is the better date for him.

His pricing is as follows:
1st Ding is $50
Each additional is $10 and up

The "and up" part is based on whether or not he has easy access to the ding. Last year he had to take apart a lot of interior panels to get to some dings and that made it cost-ineffective for him.
To be fair, he will go around the car and give you a total prior to starting the work. You can then decide which dings you want him to tackle. He does GREAT work and is a cool guy also. I think he used to build NASCAR motors or something....

Very good rates. I had a Dent-Pro guy do a car for me couple years ago. It was about $75 first and $20 each additional, roughly. Count me in for June 21.

Mike

SO Jay, is the 21st doable? Gotta talk to Dick so I can get Brad confirmed!

Oh crap! I had a feeling this was going to happen. I will try and call Dick and see what he says. We may have to bump it to Aug. :dunno

The AUg ( date may be bad for Brad also, he is supposed to let me know for sure later this weekend

good rates.

racing gas is available here:

Unical 76
Intersection ALMADEN/FOXWORTHY
Corner of Intersection SE

I sent him an email so he should get back to me today.

Erik can you give me some other dates that work out for you and Brad just in case?

brad only confirmed the June 21 date. I guess just see what dates are cool with dick for the next couple of months and then I'll send them off to brad for confirmation and we'll go from there.

GREAT NEWS!!!
Brad just called me and July 19th is now good for him. Jay, hopefully this still works for Dick! Let me know and lets get people signed up!
